Is there a way to start the take manager/performance monitor in the system tray minimised on windows start.

CTRL CLT DELTE > Task Managed then minimising isnt a great way to do this.

The program is in the Winnt directory, I think it is called Taskman.exe? Make a shortcut to it, properties on the shortcut, specify Minimize. Place it in the Startup folder for you appropriate profile. They move he profiles again, it is not off of the root dir, do a Find and search for "Statup"

Theres a "Taskman.exe" in /WINNT /WINNT/SYSTEM32 and in the dll cache dir

Just loading them from command line doesnt seem to do anything

I have done exactly what you are trying to do, just it is at home and I can't remember how

I'll post better info when I get home.

Ok Here it is!

Location of EXE:
C:\WINNT\system32\taskmgr.exe

Location of Startup Folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs

Change the properties of the Shortcut to Minimized and voila!
